67-68 core support bushings/mounts - front clip don't fit no more!

[shifty]

So I finally got my replacement cab mounts on today, and like so many others, the front clip is sitting about a half an inch too low now

All I did here was remove the front clip, then the cab, then put all new mounts on, then put the cab on, bolt it down again, then put the front clip back on - and it's all lined up perfect, it just don't sit on the same level anymore.

The only thing I see that I can do is to put a stack of a half inch of washers to shim the front end of the truck up (shimming the two holes in the core support). I know others have run into this problem (I searched and found several threads on the topic), but ... everyone else's seemed to have the cab sitting lower than the bed (shim the cab) or the cab lower than the front clip (shim the cab). What happens when the opposite happens? Should I just go out and get a core support mount kit for the 69-72 trucks? That should get me at about the right height...

OR I guess I could just bolt the front clip on and let the weight of the clip hold it down ....

Any suggestions appreciated.
